Can we say LIABILITY ?
They probably had some FNG fling a knife into the chest of one of their guessts. That would ruin your night.LOL As for the name confusion. I think Roki Aoki bounced around in his offshore powerboat and hit his head. Maybe he was confused and thought he was in Tokyo when he named the New York facility and vice verse. |

Sometimes you don't even get an Asian chef.

Last time I went to one of those places, the chef flipped a shrimp at me and burned me on the forehead. I didn't complain, but it would take only one pissing, moaning, pantywaist threatening a lawsuit to put an end to the theatrics at the corporate level.

I was at a Japanese steakhouse the other day. The cook did a ton of fire effects, volcanoes out of onions, etc. He flipped a knife, but not close to anyone, any tricks that had even the slightest possibility of hitting a customer were done with the spatulas, not the knives. Also did a ton of egg tricks and goofed around a lot to make everyone laugh and have a good time. I've noticed that over time, the steak houses restrict these activities, so newer places tend to have a better atmosphere.

Quoted: Sometimes you don't even get an Asian chef. That's for sure - the last Benihana I went to was near Chicago, and all the chefs were Mexican. The food was lousy and the theatrics we're almost non-existant. Should've gone El Torito so at least I could've had a margarita. |

Maybe try some of the other non-Benihana resturants. There are a couple that I've go to that still do all of the tricks with out wounding the customers. One of the chef's is Cambodian, but he still kicks ass with the knife and spatula, and he can do the egg and volcano stuff too.

Quoted: Sometimes you don't even get an Asian chef. Last time I went was back in 1990 and all the clowns (chef???) were Haitians and Cubians... but then it was in Miami. |

This restaurant thing is reminding me of the lawsuit where that dude was suing "Hooters" for sexual discrimination. Some jerk wanted to be a waitress. Go ahead and work there and wear that cut-off t-shirt. Hope you have health insurance. |

My wife used to have an office above the one here in Cleveland. As a kid we went there quite often and I thought it was great when they did the Shrimp Flambe thing. Well one evening my son and I went to pick her up from work and surprise her with dinner. I was all set for the look on my son's face when it was time for the flambe. Shrimp served, no flame, WTF. Turns out the fire department put a nix on the flambe at the request of a city council numbscull.
